Thank you for the video - it looks like a simple replacement, hopefully I can find that part versus the whole assembly!

Great job! I’m the same as you… working on these DIY projects. You are an inspiration! Thank you!!

Awesome video..

Using the wrenches correctly makes the struggle go away. As soon as you used the correct techniques it happened instantly. Pipe and channel pliers are directional!

Good for your tenacity and not giving in. A couple of things, use the channel locks on the cap, not the pipewrench. Caps will always turn counter-clockwise to come off, not clockwise. Then, hand tighten the cap when putting it back on. Too much torque over time can crack the cap. The bottom connection is screwed on, then glued, so it's not coming off ever. How'd I learn all this? Plenty of mistakes! Good for you, and keep up the good work!

Thanks for the video I’ve got a gut trying to charge me $500 for an ez repair. Beware of the price gougers

I got brave after watching your video and tackled the leak. Thanks for the directions and inspiration…Susan

You forgot to replace the gasket I think 🤔

Before replacing that vent cap, I removed mine and turned the water back on to flush any debris that maybe causing it to leak including the popet valve. After reinstalling the vent cap, my leak stopped. I'm surprised at how much "stuff" comes in through the municipal water supply. The smallest bit of debris apparently can cause a leak.

I love what you do around the house and save some money great job lady you should be proud of yourself.

Love your perseverance and good humor! Thanks for sharing!

A like the video very much, also your voice !

Do they not sell that valve cover by itself ??

That's not "fixing", that's replacing. And that's okay but I was hoping to actually fix the old anti-siphon part by replacing a spring or a gasket that's leaking in there.

wow. She had to use a pipe wrench to remove the overflow valve cap. Should be able to easily remove by hand.

I had to do the same repair, but the problem was my anti-siphon valve is up against the house with no room to fit a wrench. After trying various tools (including one I bought from amazon) and squishing my finger, I finally found a solution. A C-clamp screwed over the top of the cap and clamped onto the sides gave enough grip to remove the cap. Plus the torque is centered over the pipe, which keeps it from bending like when you use a wrench.

Excellent. : )

Perfect. : )

Next time let a real man (me) help you.

First of all KUDOS to you for DIY! You did an awesome job! Secondly, thank you so much for your video as I am having the same problem with mine. 😊

nice

You're a smart cookie you should be very proud You're kind of my hero now I wish everyone was like you methodical

Oh what a feeling!

Hi, I have several Orbit anti-siphon values installed. There are water leakings from the ani-siphone cap/lids. It could cost more than $100 to replace all of them. I wish I could find a place just to buy the O-rings to save some money.

I have the same lawn genie. Replaced those top parts and still leaks. Think there has to be a better system to use. I’m cutting mine out.

So because of your video I was able to fix mine plumber wanted $375 for service call and god knows how much 🙏🙏

Thank you! I was going to replace the entire valve. You saved me a lot of time and expense!!

Nice job Amy!

I have done this before and even changed the diaphragm seal the sell it now

I think you forgot to add in the gasket that was previously in the anti siphon valve

😭😭😭

Righty righty - lefty loosey

Great Video. Thanks to you I now feel confident to fix the leak in my valve. Unlike most DIY videos where usually an expert walks you through the steps without any challenges, your video was so refreshing and real. This is exactly the kind of experience I face whenever I try to repair anything. I could totally relate to your struggles of trying to unscrew the valve 🙂. Well done. Thank you again.

Thank you. You did'nt give up!

I think you made the masa to thick

For those who have to do this... just take the siphon cap off and clean the plunger with a toothpick or simular item. These parts don't wear they get dirty with hard water. Save yourself the 24 bucks.

Very very poor representation!

I didn't see her put the Rubber Gasket around the valve before install

This video was entertaining and made me smile- not recommended to use as a fix but appreciate the hands on approach. Should replace the entire valve- you need a pvc cutter and glue but is easy enough. Thanks.

Ouch, that was painful to watch....

Interesting. Normally when the anti siphon is leaking it’s a symptom of a bigger problem. Glad it worked well for you though

It is not a 2 engine it is a 2 CYCLE

I charge $120.00

Hahahahahahahahhaha wow 👏 good simple fix save some money

Great job. You took your time and figured it out and save yourself money. These systems are not hard to work on .

You had me worried when you started twisting counterclockwise when putting the sprinkler back in. Unfortunately the next person mowing the lawn might break this one too because it is sticking above the grass. They do sell 4 inch sprinkler bodies. Yours is probably 6 inches. Great fix and video!

I love the thought process and how you slowly figured it out by yourself. You are helping a lot more people than just your neighbors with this video.

I am sure True Value had the O ring for it for a few bucks, at most. Try that next time. Good fix!

They do sell an orbits repair kit. Since you bought the whole valve you should have just changed the whole thing out. Two cuts, tape up your threaded unions and some Blue glue and you would have been done. That valve will leak again soon.
